KEEN Targhee III is the go-to boot for wide-footed hikers. We researched the toe box width and compared KEEN.DRY waterproofing against GORE-TEX.
Who it's for
Buy this if: Wide-footed hikers or those with toe alignment issues who find other boots painful.
Skip this if: Hikers with standard-width feet — the wide toe box creates lateral movement that reduces support for normal width feet.
In practice
Wide Foot Solution
Most hiking boots use a European last with narrow toe box. KEEN's Targhee uses an American last with a wide toe box that allows toes to splay naturally under load. For hikers who develop pinky-toe blisters or black toenails in other boots, the KEEN last is often the solution.
